My fellow Arthenians:

After having gotten disturbingly and disappointingly little, and by that I mean absolutely no, feedback for what the story should be about, I contacted the reader who requested the Zoroark story and asked if she would let me make some changes. She told me to take creative freedom. So this is for Ms. Anonymous.

Note: This is not going to be a oneshot. This came to me during my English class and I intend to write it. I hope you guys enjoy it, not that I would know because you don't tell me anything.

Note: Alternate Universe.

The Great One created the world, and decided that it would be good. He looked upon the world, and he saw that, indeed, it was good. The Great One made living things, things that would crawl and things that would swim; things that would creep and things that would walk; things that would roll and things that would fly, and he saw that they were good.

And the Great One watched us; He watched us evolve into a world of harmony, a world of peace; and yea and behold, the Great One saw the passage of time; eras went by, and millennia gave way to millennia; We, the Pokemon, shifting the balance of the world with they, the Humans; and the Great One saw that this was good.

The Great One observed from atop his Throne, and he watched in silence without intervention; he watched as the Pokemon evolved, as they grew as a race and as individuals; he watched as the Humans did not. So the Great One called forth his Herald, and he spoke unto him: "Give unto the Humans Knowledge, for they require a method to preserve themselves."

So the Herald came upon the Man, Arthenius, who is forever to be called the Forsaken One, and he was afraid; but the Herald said unto him: "Do not be afraid, my brother; I come bearing gift for your race."

And so Arthenius accepted the Knowledge, and he shared it with his fellow Human. He shared it among his comrades and his enemies, and the Great One was pleased. He watched again, as Humans evolved alongside their Pokemon counterparts, and he saw that it was good.

And as the balance shifted as intended, as the pendulum swung back, We watched as the Humans used their Knowledge. We watched them use their gift to create civilizations, we watched as empire gave way to empire; revolution to birth anew, causing cycle after cycle.

But, then, We noticed the Knowledge being used for other Purposes; We witness these Purposes in silent awe, and We knew not what to do; these Purposes, the creation of terrible machines and ideas; the so-called "Poke-Balls," and the enslavement that went along with them; We witness the Knowledge used to force Us into the Great Commitment, the bond that was impressed upon Us.

And so We prayed to the Great One, using his name that he had taught Us: "O', Great One, O' Arceus our Creator, We commend thee; We have watched Our world that you have given to Us, and We have seen it defiled; We humbly pray to you in hopes that you might help Us; Please extend your hand that We might be free once again."

And so the Great One looked upon the world again, looked upon it with scrutiny; he beheld Humans that captured Us; Beheld terrible machines that forced slavery; Beheld Our artificial creation for sport and for experiments; And the Great One saw that is was not good.

So the Great One called upon Ash, whose lineage it is said traces back to the Forsaken One, and he asked of him: "My child, why have you done these things; these horrible things that have caused your brethren such pain?" And Ash replied, "Great One, we have done unto them a favor, for which they are forever indebted; we have given them the opportunity to work with us, to work for us; we have allowed them to exist alongside us."

And the Great One looked upon this Human, and he was enraged; he saw that what he had created was not good, and that he had committed an error; And so he spoke unto him: "You insolent fool, you terribly mistaken creation; You would cast stones upon your brothers? Then I shall cast stones upon you."

And that day was known as the Awakening.

That day, the Great One repealed his creation; He took back the Humans that had so tainted his world, and removed them all from the Earth; And it is believed he took them to the Etherealm, where they are believed to preside presently.
